Williams sisters fall in Aussie quarters

Melbourne, Australia (Sports Network) - The top-seeded doubles team of Sara
Errani and Roberta Vinci upended Serena and Venus Williams in the

the Italian duo pull out a 3-6, 7-6 (7-1), 7-5 victory over the 12th-seeded
Americans, who vying for their 14th Grand Slam doubles title together.
